Konnan compares Dominik Mysterio to WWE Hall of Famer
Konnan recently compared Dominik Mysterio to his father, 2023 Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, and noted that the young star must work in a different style.
Rey Mysterio was inducted into the Hall of Fame this year ahead of WrestleMania 39. Konnan gave the 48-year-old his induction speech and took a shot at Dominik in the process. Dom and Rhea Ripley then exited the ceremony before his father was honored. Rey went on to get revenge on his son by defeating him at The Show of Shows in Los Angeles.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Konnan compared Dominik Mysterio to his father and said that he will have to work a different style because of his size.
"We've already seen he [Dominik Mysterio] can't work like his father because of his size, and he wasn't really trained in Lucha. He was trained more in American wrestling because Rey's vision was, 'If I'm gonna bring him, I'm gonna bring him in at the top, top WWE.' So they got him ready for that. I would just say I would like to see more physicality out of him, but he's a great seller, which he obviously got from Rey or whoever else has been in his ear," said Konnan. [From 04:05 to 04:34]
